Chose this hotel because it was the closest to the V&A museum and so glad we did. The afternoon tea was lovely. It was a Mary Quant tea so the sandwiches and cakes all were vibrant. There was a chocolate lipstick a rasberry couli nail polish. It was eye catching and very tasty. Highly recommended More

Had an early dinner on a Sunday night with some friends who were visiting. Restaurant was quiet so nice to be able to chat. Food was good - the special (tuna) was particularly nice. Service was attentive and friendly. Overall a good venue. More

The garden here is exquisite and peaceful, but we we sitting near a generator of some kind set behind the beautiful plants. The constant hum was awful - but the garden and long pool so lovely which offset the noise.
We had mezza and a bottle of wine, both good, but the pitta bread too hard so we think pre-prepared. We finished off with coffees and I had one of the best hot chocolate drinks ever - dark and gorgeous. Apart from the generator and pitta bread, all was just lovely - admire this hotel, atmosphere and decor and certainly location! Our waitress, from Venezuela, could not have been more pleasant and efficient, and the other staff we encountered were also pleasant and quietly welcoming. We'll definitely be going there again.

It was quite difficult to find the entrance as it was not signposted outside- had to go on the address to find the entrance. The staff were very friendly even if some of them looked about 15 years old! I love fish which suited me fine with the menu, but there were very few meat options- and one of our party who does not like fish and needs gluten free food had a very limited choice.
The overall price was good value and the fish were all cooked beautifully More
